Authority Through AuthorshipA single post can now reach thousands of people, and that reach cuts both ways: what you say online follows you and shapes how people see you. These ten rules are not complicated. Here is how to handle yourself on…
Personal StoryThe books that held up on rereading, the ones that betrayed me, and what the difference between them says about what a book is doing when it works.
AI AdoptionAdoption numbers, detection accuracy, reader response, publisher policy. What the research supports, what it does not support, and where the figures everyone quotes came from.
MemoirThe story you keep circling and never starting is usually the one with somebody waiting on the other end of it. Why the fear is a signal instead of a warning.
Personal StorySomebody wrote a book that got you through something, and they never knew it happened. That transaction runs in both directions, which is the argument for writing the one you keep not writing.
Personal StoryThe thing you have not said is the most dangerous thing you own, and the cost of keeping it is higher than the cost of writing it down.
AI AdoptionIt is not bad writing, it is safe writing. It does not lack talent, it lacks scars. It is an excellent writer with nothing to say. Seven reframings of what is wrong with machine prose.
AI AdoptionThe threat is not AI replacing writers. It is other writers using AI replacing you. Which skills stop mattering, which start to matter more, and what the gap looks like in practice.
Overcoming Writing ResistanceWriting resolutions rely on motivation, and motivation is gone by late January. Write more is not a goal. What replaces willpower, and why the resolution was usually the wrong shape to begin with.
AI and WritingTwo published books shipped with the AI conversation still sitting in the manuscript. The exact strings to search for before yours does the same, and where AI genuinely belongs in a book.
productivityThe attention that will not sit still is the same attention that makes connections nobody else makes. How to build a writing practice around that instead of fighting it into a shape it will never hold.
Overcoming Writing ResistanceEvery writer hits the wall. What it is, why it arrives when it does, and why pushing harder is the single response that reliably makes it worse.
